Sure, maybe I’ve just been busy but some part of me has used Letterboxd less and less this year since knowing a buyout was on the horizon. All we can do is be sad as our media is gobbled up by shareholder money…
Letterboxd is genuinely one of my favorite things in the world. The idea of it being sold to anyone is a downer, but if The New York Times buys it, I’m worried it’ll get buried behind a paywall or we’ll end up drowning in ads.
I’ve always had a Patron account because I’m such a passionate believer in this app (for all the good my monthly contribution does, I guess). But I don’t see how this could be anything but a bummer.

it's embarrassing that Q7 is likely going to fail by such a slim margin. if someone else getting a house undoes your existence as a homeowner entirely, you're a fucking loser!
People need to stop looking at lines like this and thinking wow this is so awesome so many people are voting and start seeing these insanely long lines as what they are- a form of voter suppression.
women can make a calculated choice to be fascist without needing to be held hostage by fascist men or suffering from some sudden mental break. we don’t need to do this damselification and infantilization every time a woman, especially one in a position of power, shows herself as a collaborator. specifically, white women have historically benefited from this societal shield and the benevolent sexism-chivalry effect that bestows a naivety and harmlessness upon them.
The Boston Celtics just ruined their team by making the dumbest decision: building around Jayson Tatum when he was never better than Jaylen Brown.
Brown was always the more aggressive player who could consistently get downhill and guard the other team’s best player, while Tatum played weak-side helper.
This season will expose the truth that people who watch full games already knew: Jaylen Brown > Jayson Tatum.
Tatum isn’t a top 10 player in the NBA.
Trading Jaylen Brown because Tatum’s ego couldn’t handle being the 2nd best player just to be the 2nd best player to 40 year old PG is so good
Can’t script comedy like that
Sealed the deal. I’m a 76ers fan this season since the Celtics thought it was a good idea to trade JB… and here he is beating the Knicks championship team.
I firmly believe we should embrace this take. Mamdani is the new political center, meaning anyone to his right is objectively a conservative—even The Atlantic agrees!
@gldivittorio mamdani: a man so shockingly normal, well-adjusted and charismatic that he’s dragging the overton window kicking and screaming leftward. may he and all his descendants get unlimited free ice cream
This is not an award show problem this is a twitch / streamer demographic problem. In the top 100 streamers of this year only 2 are women. I do not know everyone’s sexuality to tell you how many are gay but I fear it’s less.
However this problem is quite literally why the sapphire award was created. This is the male to female ratio of the award show from every year. This year it’s 2.94. Of course the dream is 1:1 but since it’s fan voted even seeing progress like being under the 3:1 range feels like a win.
Luckily there ARE award shows that do a great job at covering these categories. The Gameher awards and the Gayming Awards I believe are to popular ones. Someday if I have the bandwidth I would love to do a separate show that purely focuses on this. Maybe called the sapphire awards but sadly that is not near on my horizon.
However for now I like to focus on the progress being made in the overall demographic of the show. We do have more women nominated than past years and we do have more queer people. That’s a fucking win in my book but there’s always room for more.
this is another issue i have with the current market, these recruiters and hiring managers act like they were the perfect candidate when they got hired when most of the time that’s just not true. its not fair. we can be successful and competent without being a complete expert
